“…The conclusion that there exists a negative relationship between business ethics and an entrepreneurial interest lends support to the anxiety of ethicist and the like about the ethical standards of business students and other future professionals in corporate and financial positions (Lane and Schaupp 1989;McCabe et al 1991;McCabe 2001;Zopiatis and Krambia-Kapardis 2007).

The present study investigates how business ethics are related to vocational interest. Special attention has been paid to the relationship between business ethics and the interest in 'enterprising' and 'social' oriented professions. The results show that business ethics is only significantly correlated in a negative way, to enterprising vocational preferences. Moreover, the negative contribution of business ethics to the preference for entrepreneurial and managerial professions remains after controlling for personality and work values. Some work values also predict the entrepreneurial interest: Earnings, Influence, Competition, Innovation and Creativity. The personality traits Extraversion (positive) and Agreeableness (negative) have predictive validity, but this effect disappears after controlling for work values. In the 'Discussion' section, we pay attention to possible consequences of the negative relationship between business ethics and Entrepreneurial interest for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We argue that efforts concerning realistic job previews will only be meaningful if they are completed with efforts to make people more sensitive for ethics in two other domains, namely education and business.

However, most empirical studies indicated that age is positively related to individualsÕ ethical attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors (Conroy and Emerson, 2004;Deshpande, 1997;Kelly et al, 1990).…”

“…Similarly, Kelly, Ferrell, and Skinner (1990) reported that the perceptions of female marketing research professionals indicated more ethical behavior than did the perceptions of a comparable group of males. However, McNichols and Zimmer (1985) found no significant difference in the ethical beliefs of males and females, and Lane and Schaupp (1989) reported that female business students see such beliefs as "winning is everything" as more necessary to career success than do males.…”
